My latest effort. 54mm scratchbuilt, mostly Milliputt. Depicts a French Para in Algiers

My latest completed figure. Reworked casting of a 54mm figure I made some 30 years ago.

I have just about finished these 2 figures. The US Cavalry studio photo is about 100mm and the Irish figure bust about 200mm. They both need a bit of "snagging".

This started life as the HLI figure attached, I made it some years ago. Fortunately I took some moulds and so could make resin castings. The chair originally was an acrylic laser cut. As a retired Product Design teacher the pistol should have best been made with CAD and 3D printing. But, I...

Latest scratchbuilt figure. Mostly made in Milliputt and painted in Andrea and Vallejo acrylics. Titled "Forest Booty" it depicts an incident in the Ardennes. Still managing to keep Parkinson's at bay. Alex

Latest efforts in 54mm. Two of my own old Cheshire Volunteer figures, one heavily converted the other less so.

Another model I recently revamped. This is a Chota Sahib figure I originally painted some 30+ years ago. I added more detail and a new background.

Some images of recent work completed in lockdown. Ox and Bucks 75mm scratchbuilt in mostly Milliput. Sten is made from aluminium tube, steel pin, brass sheet, detail in Milliput. Bricks - PVC foamboard. Helmet - whitemetal from earlier Cheshire Volunteer casting with old net curtain stretched...

Nearly finished 75mm figure, still in bits but nearly ready for painting, needs a final clean up. Mostly Milliput, any visible castings are from my own earlier work. His left foot rests on the wall his helmet is on. The sten will be slung over his right shoulder.

An old Cheshire Volunteer figure of mine I'd never painted. The theme is "Where is He?", as in where has the sentry gone.

A pair of finished or virtually finished figures. The Aussie is a heavy conversion of my old Cheshire Volunteer US Marine. The Continental Marine is a new original figure.

Rehashed this old figure for SMC. Appreciate comments good or bad.

Just returned home from SMC Challenge, another great show although the entry numbers seemed a bit down on last year. I'm interested in Class 19 for unpainted sculpted figures. I first started sculpting scratchbuilt figures some 32 years ago, guided by my good friend Sid Horton. Life got in...

Some planeteers expressed an interest in this figure when I posted an image in the Completed Figures thread. I have now completed the mould making. So you get the figure, seat, plant stand and pot, and some thin copper to create whatever pot plant you want. Resin and whitemetal parts. I...

Couple of figures I took to Euro. The Ranger is 100mm and the RTR Sergeant an old 54mm Cheshire Volunteer casting. Photo quality is not great, sorry.

I am returning to painting figures after many years break. But I cannot find a medium I am entirely happy with. OILS I base coat with either Humbrol or acrylic; leave the oils on a piece of card for several days to dry out; but I still get a slight sheen. Particularly if you touch up on top...

A figure I completed for the MFCA show this year. I might try some improvements for Euro in Sep tember.

I recently came across Martin Philpott's detailed review of the Fusilier's Foreign Legionnaire in May. I must correct one misunderstanding with this review as I sculpted this figure and the accompanying British Army Officer in The Fusilier catalogue. I sold them to Steve some time ago. Martin...

Latest 75mm Figure in resin. I entered this one in Euro as my first attempt at competition painting in 30 years!!! Got a Commended so not bad for a first effort in such a time but needs improvement. So I plan to work on my painting skills to improve on the box art. I don't propose to hold...

Revisited Euro after about 30 years. I remember having a stall back on the first show!!! Anyway now I'm retired I thought I would have a go at trying to paint to competition standard again. Cameronian 54mm and Para 75mm attached. The Para got a Commended so not a bad start, hope to improve...
